Dr. Miriam Steele says of the manual, "This book is of such scope it must be considered a magnum opus for the field of clinical psychology and psychiatry. . .There is no book quite like this one available. . .a 'must have' for every child clinician."

"This wedding of psychodynamic principles into a systematized, clear, and manualized approach is what makes this book so imaginative and modern in its approach to a very serious problem facing children, parents, mental health clinicians, and society." - Dr. John D O'Brien
